More quotes by Bertolt Brecht
People who fight may lose. People who do not fight have already lost.
Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
Writers can't write as fast as governments make wars because to write demands thinking.
Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
The man who laughs has simply not yet had the terrible news.
Bertolt Brecht

Bertolt Brecht
Would it not be simpler If the Government dissolved the people and elected another?
Bertolt Brecht
If you join the rat race — you're in the race of rats.
Bertolt Brecht
People who understand everything get no stories.
Bertolt Brecht
Suppose they gave a war, and nobody came? Why then, the war would come to you!
Bertolt Brecht
If art reflects life, it does so with special mirrors.
Bertolt Brecht
Things take indeed a wondrous turn When learned men do stoop to learn.
Bertolt Brecht
You have to attack once the truth is too weak to defend itself.
Bertolt Brecht
When you name yourself, you always name another.
Bertolt Brecht
